A vertically stacked ridge centered over AL/GA will continue to keep things dry Tonight and through Sunday afternoon. The ridge does begin to weaken tonight as slide SE into South GA/N FL through Sun evening. At the same time an upper level Low/Trough becomes better defined over the plains as it moves east Sun. Southwest flow in the mid and upper levels ahead of the developing trough will advect a fetch of moisture from the Eastern Pacific and TX Gulf coast towards Georgia through Sun evening. This will lead to increasing high cloud cover today and mostly cloudy conditions by Sunday. Despite the increased cloud cover, dry weather remains favored through the day Sunday. By Sunday evening precip from the incoming wave will be knocking on the the west GA doorstep with PoPs increasing rapidly just after sunset Sun. Will see rain move into W GA right around 00z then continue to move east and south through the night. By daybreak Mon most locations across North and Central GA will have seen some precipitation with the heaviest amounts expected across N GA. By 12z Mon some locations across N GA will have received 0.5 to 0.75 inches of rain with more expected Monday. Instability indices are fairly weak over night so not expecting and thunder/severe storms.
The return of west to southwest surface winds today and Sunday will produce WAA and favor a warming trend over the area. Lows tonight will dip back down into the 30s but Highs Sunday will get up into the mid 50s to Mid 60s. Lows Sun night will only get down into the 40s.

At a glance:
- Gradual warm-up through early next week.
- Widespread, mostly beneficial rains expected Sunday evening through Wednesday. Locally heavy rainfall possible late Monday night into early Wednesday.
- Colder again by the end of the forecast period.
On Monday, a shortwave over the OH valley will be lifting NE and weakening. A weak high pressure ridge will briefly build over the SE U.S. An upper trough will dig over the Central Plains and MS Valley by mid-week, then shift E. At the surface, a high pressure ridge will shift over the W Atlantic. A warm front will lift NE from near the Gulf Coast to Central GA on Tuesday. A cold front moves SE into the County Warning Area (CWA) late Tuesday into Wednesday.
This setup will open up flow from the Gulf of Mexico, allowing moisture to increase across the state from SW to NE. The forecast continues to feature PoPs beginning across NW GA late Sunday afternoon, with increasing PoPs from NW to SE across N and central GA Sunday night through Monday afternoon. Instability parameters remain low, but a few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. The best chances of thunderstorms will be Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening when CAPE values of 500-750 J/kg are possible.
The larger-scale trough axis and an associated cold front are progged to shift E of the CWA Wednesday night, with PoPs decreasing during the day Wednesday. This pattern continues to favor beneficial rainfall with a widespread 2" to 3" with localized higher amounts.
Continued adjustments to rainfall maxima and placement are expected.
Temperatures will gradually increase through Tuesday with warm air advection. High temperatures on Tuesday will range from the upper 50s in the NE mountains to the lower 70s across the S. The aforementioned cold front passage that will take place Wednesday will bring a return of colder conditions late in the period. High temperatures across the are on Thursday will range from the lower 40s in the NE mountains to the lower 50s in the S. Some wrap-around light snow or flurries are possible across the N on Wednesday as this system moves out, but confidence is low at this time. /SEC

VFR continues at all sites through the period. Cirrus will begin to gradually overspread across the area overnight into Sunday with SCT 5 to 7kft cigs introduced largely after 18z Sunday. Winds remain on the west side shifting more from the W to SW with speeds 3 to 6kts. RA/SHRA was not introduced this TAF cycle as it looks to spread into the region after 00z Monday.
